Eurekainc / File-Viewer-Plugin

File Viewer Plugin

Leverage your hybrid applications to open documents in a preview mode or with an external application.

This plugin defines a global ( cordova.plugins.DocumentPreview ) object which you can use to access the public API.

document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
function onDeviceReady() {
    // ...
}
